> I think I may have some sort of social anxeity. For example - when I go to the grocery store I get nervous with all the people around and I think everyone's looking in my cart to see what I'm buying (sounds like paranoia-but it's more anxeity).Jerry, some would percieve that as a psychotic or prodromal psychotic symptom, but I tend to think it is indeed a mixture of social anxiety, lack of self-esteem, and an overactive mind....
And I slip into movies right before they start and sit as far aay from people as I can. This could just be part of my depression - low self-esteem/self-confidence....? I dunno....?
Absolutely...it COULD be part of the depression...
QSTNS,
1- are you embarrased to eat in public
2. Can you urinate in a male toilet next to other men, and when going to the pool have a shower after swiming nakeed in front of other men?
3. Can you approach an attractive girl?
4. Do you try to avoid people sometimes or always?
Answer these and I will have a better diagnostic view of your psychopathology (obviously I'm not a psychiatrist yet, so my view must be taken as informed conjecture)It seems like you could have 1. Depression 2. Social Anxiety...
OR, the social anxiety is just a manifestation of a depressive illness.
How are you sleeping now?
And Overall how are you feeling?
What are your meds now?
